The documents required for the process of acquiring BiH citizenship depend on both, your status and the legal basis through which you may enter the procedure as stipulated by the BiH Law on Citizenship. Regarding our Law Firm practice, after insight into your status and after determining the legal basis through which you may acquire/renounce BiH citizenship, we will provide you with all the necessary information on documentation which should be collected. We must note that with your authorisation, our lawyers shall resolve all the issues regarding the citizenship without your presence in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. What matters is that the documents may not be older than six months and must be originals.
A person who had renounced the BiH citizenship before, shall be allowed to acquire it again. Among general conditions to be met, he/she must be granted a temporary residence for the period of at least one year before submitting the application, or a permanent residence has already been granted.
If you meet the requirements for the acquisition of BiH citizenship according to the BiH Law on Citizenship, you are not obliged to renounce the Croatian citizenship for the reason there is a bilateral agreement between BiH and the Republic of Croatia in effect since 2012. By the agreement, Bosnia and Herzegovina is allowed a dual citizenship with Croatia. The same applies in case you are a citizen of Serbia or Sweden and you meet all the requirements for the acquisition of BiH citizenship because BiH concluded dual citizenship agreements with these countries too.
